In dove-gray dusk can be both the end and the exaltation of a new
Beginning, yet forever remain itself....”

“I do not wish to see John ever again,—I mean him who is dead,—but that other, whom only he would have wished to see, or to be, of whom he was the imperfect representative. For we are not what we are, nor do we treat or esteem each other for such, but for what we are capable of being.”
